(This song is an auditory scavenger hunt! Things to listen for: my hands drumming on the body of my guitar, forks tapping on a concrete floor, feet stomping on a folding table, flute-boxing, a heavy door sliding open and closed, and other odd percussive elements long forgotten. Enjoy!)
lyrics
It's a mysterious place you live in,
that old house on that old road--
the kind of place I hurry past
on my long walk home
but I know
better than to knock on your door
The windows are all painted shut,
not a single latch will turn--
maybe it's a century of bad luck
or neglect just taking what it's earned
The devil's looking in your window,
he's got his hands on all the locks--
you know there's nothing you can give up
that you haven't already lost
